Emergency button saves students
by: Emilee “Flush Ahoy” Duvall
Business Manager

I have learned many lessons in my three and half years (and counting down ;) roaming the halls of AHS. Feelings of pity overcome me as I think of all the secrets that I know about the school that others don’t. I would like to dispense this information.....now.
Sometimes the motion detector on the back of the toilet that is supposed to flush when one stands up, decides to become a part of someone’s horrible high school humiliation story and does not wash down the water. Therefore, techniques have been invented to rinse the pot.

Doing a little jig back and forth infront of the detector works for some. You think people can’t tell, but I hear your little feet scuffing back and forth against the bathroom’s tile floor! Haha, I laugh at the thought. If you are trying this method, take some pointers from me. First, pretend like you are invisible. This may trick the toilet into flushing.

econd, you could hop to and fro from the motion detector’s line of vision until it gets sick of watching you and flushes. I don’t know what else to tell you dancing fools.

Other students tell me that simply opening the door to the stall will cause the restroom to expell the water. Nevertheless, this act could cause total disgrace if it still does not flush and you leave your little mess there for some other unsuspecting person. That’s not cool my friends.

I know others of you out there will actually take the time to sit back down on the toilet, PRETEND like you’re using the bathroom, and then stand up once again to see if the toilet will magically flush. Like I said earlier, these toilets are not here to make you happy, only to relieve you. So this also may not work.

There is an emergency button on the toilets! If you will look closley at the metal contraption attached to the back of the toilet, there is a small cylinder shaped button that if pushed will flush the potty. WOAH. It’s true. I know, I wish I could have told you about it earlier as well, but the idea for this editorial only came to me this week. The wonderful button serves as a beacon of hope to those of us who cannot seem to find a toilet that wishes to flush. Now, the entire Eagle Family can be on the “same level” eh, Katherine?
